Dental Implants

Dental Implants offer the patient a way to replace missing teeth without a denture or partial. Implants are tiny titanium posts placed into the jaw bone, they effectively replace the root of the tooth and allow for a full replacement tooth to be affixed to the implant. Dental implant technology can help preserve jaw bone strength while giving more comfort and a natural-looking smile.

Usually, the dental implant process has three steps:

The implant is surgically implanted into the jaw bone. This is a relatively painless process as there are no nerve endings in the jaw bone.

Over a period of time, the jaw bone actually heals painlessly around the implant to hold it strongly in place.

A customized tooth, designed with the right size, shape, and color to blend in with other teeth, is placed on the implant.
